Traveler reviews
Informative and fun!
Koffe was great! Fun, engaging, knowledgeable, and informative, everything you want in a guide. The tour was well worth it.
Koffee Rocks!
Great guide, Koffee! He was knowledgeable and made the tour come alive with his stories! He spoke clearly and slowly.
Historical Edinburgh Castle with Intriguing History
This is a great tour when the historical narrative is included. Koffe was exceptional at framing the history with the experience. He was the best narrator for a tour I have taken. I felt like I received 1,000 years of history in 90 minutes in a well-spoken, clear and exciting story. I would highly recommend this tour and an excellent tour guide like Koffe.
Great fun and learning...
